History professors are so not rare.
I've gone back and forth about becoming a professor of architectural history. It's less competitive than becoming a history prof, but there's still no love.
Unless you're a named professor at a very major university, and constantly on the lecture/book circuit, there's no way you're going to make 200K. Chances are that UF professor is either in the School of Medicine, in the hard sciences, or a superstar.
